Chapter Twenty-Eight: Blood Stained Red Dust
That night, Han Xiao was awakened by a nightmare, her face was pale, she groped for the water cup at the head of the bed, finally touched the cup, sat up and was about to drink water, only to find that the cup was empty, there was no drop of water in it, so she got up and prepared to go to the kitchen to scoop some water to drink, Han Xiao was already hungry and thirsty, and her mouth was dry, when she arrived at the kitchen, she opened the water tank, but the water tank was empty, at this moment, a black shadow appeared behind her, "Who?" Before Han Xiao could turn her head, Han Xiao was knocked unconscious, and it was Nangong Ying who knocked her unconscious.
"All thoughts are one." Nangong Ying recited a mantra, stretched out a hand, and in Han Xiao's pocket, a blue crystal ball flew into his hand, he looked at it carefully and then continued to read: "Two into one." Saying that, he slapped the crystal into Han Xiao's heart, Han Xiao vomited blood, Nangong Ying seemed to be seriously thinking about something, showing a little melancholy, only to see that after Han Xiao and the crystal became one, his hair began to glow blue, "Explicit piercing the heart!" Nangong Ying originally wanted to continue to spell Han Xiao but stopped, he watched Han Xiao sleeping in a pool of blood, and finally couldn't give up, after all, Han Xiao was Xueru's friend, he took one last look at Han Xiao and left.
Han Xiao woke up in a daze, her vision was blurred, she tried to be afraid, but found herself lying in the kitchen, the blood flowing from the corner of her mouth was dried by her, at this moment, the sound of a chicken crowing appeared in the kitchen, it was late at night, Han Xiao was really hungry and thirsty, suddenly had a strange idea in her heart, suddenly very interested in the taste of chicken blood, so she reached out and pounced, jumped in the direction of the chicken's voice, and sure enough, she saw a hen tied to the corner of the fireplace and seemed to be laying eggs, She grabbed the chicken with one hand, the chicken struggled in Han Xiao's hand, and then Han Xiao showed his seemingly sharp teeth and bit the chicken's neck directly, Han Xiao began to suck the chicken's blood hard, and the satisfaction in his heart arose. It was just a flash of conscience condemnation in his eyes for a moment, but then he forgot about it.
"This tastes really delicious." Han Xiao licked the chicken blood on the side of his mouth and said, and then continued to suck the blood of the chicken, and then the blood of the chicken was completely sucked dry by her, Han Xiao wiped the remaining chicken blood on the side of her mouth with her hand, but she didn't know that she still wanted to drink blood for Shenma, she touched her stomach, since she drank the chicken blood, she felt full of strength all over her body, and at this time, she heard the cat barking outside, so she planned to catch a cat.
Han Xiao took a light step, for fear that the cat would be taken down, she followed behind a cat, the cat seemed to find her, turned around, but Han Xiao found faster than the cat, quickly hid behind the stone pillar, faster than the cat, the cat looked at the back of no one and continued to walk, from time to time looked at the night sky of the full moon, Han Xiao then took a breath and rested, and quietly followed the cat, Han Xiao felt that the cat was very interesting and planned to follow it to see what it wanted to do.
Han Xiao followed the cat behind the eaves and walked the wall, shuttled in the alley for a while, and then skewered in the hall for a while, Han Xiao tiptoed for fear that the cat would find out, and finally she followed the cat to the cat's nest, there are a lot of cats here, Han Xiao looked at it in surprise, hiding behind the wall, the cat nest is in a remote corner, and there are all kinds of cats living in it, some big and some small. At this time, a gust of wind blew from nowhere, blowing Han Xiao's skirt: "Ah! Han Xiao accidentally said that he missed his mouth, and quickly covered his mouth, but he was already surrounded by cats, all the cats looked at Han Xiao silently, with a serious expression, Han Xiao stepped back in fear.
"Meow!" One of the cats looked very cute, and pounced into Han Xiao's arms, Han Xiao hugged the cat, only to see the cat put his hand on Han Xiao's chest, Han Xiao was stunned, opened his mouth wide, and at this time the chest emitted a blue light, Han covered the light with one hand, but the body slowly turned into the image of a dragon, "How can this be?" Saying that, her face also turned into a dragon's head, Han Xiao turned into a blue dragon, she moaned, and then took off one step at a time, flying into the sky, the cats all looked up at the back of the dragon flying into the sky, and it was amazing that the sky suddenly crossed a lot of popularity.
"Meow." The cat that had just touched Han Xiao's chest barked, and all the cats looked at the cat and saluted it, "Meow." "The cat kept looking at the dragon in the sky.
After a while, the dragon flew back and became Han Xiao again, but the difference was that there was a blue flower tattoo on Han Xiao's right eye, which was a mark of the seal, Han Xiao's body was glowing with blue light, and her clothes also became blue and shiny, she squatted down and picked up the cat just now, the cat licked her face, Han Xiao grinned, but there was a different sense of enchantment from before, her expression was slightly melancholy and sad, and then she put down the cat in her hand, turned around, and changed back to the previous Han Xiao, But there was an indescribable sense of difference, "Okay, I'm leaving." She crouched down and waved goodbye to the cat, and turned around, but tears flowed.
"All thoughts are destroyed." At this moment, a masked man appeared, and the soul of the sharp sword heart was inserted into Han Xiao's body.
"Ahh Han Xiao spat blood from his mouth, and the cats immediately fled, "Who are you?" Han Xiao covered his wound and said weakly, but the man in black did not answer.
"I want your life." Saying that, the man in black fought with Han Xiao, but in the end, the masked man won, "The Spirit Girl of Butterfly Valley is nothing more than that!" ”
"Demon, since you dare to bully my granddaughter." Han Xiao's mother-in-law's voice came from behind.
"Mother-in-law?" Han Xiao turned his head to look back, and his mother-in-law appeared with a fairy staff.
"Xiao'er, are you okay?" The mother-in-law hugged Han Xiao distressedly.
"I'm fine, mother-in-law." Han Xiao was moved to cry when she saw her mother-in-law.
"It's okay." The mother-in-law said, "You dare to bully my granddaughter." As he spoke, he looked at the masked man angrily, "You have the ability to rush at me." As he spoke, he stomped on his crutches, "Tell me who ordered you to assassinate Xiao'er?" ”
"I'm afraid that if I say it, you can't bear me!" The masked man said proudly, straightening his back.
"Hehe, do you have the ability to do it, but don't you have the ability to say it?" The mother-in-law was speechless.
"The one who asked me to assassinate Han Xiao was the master." Saying that, the masked man pierced the sword through Han Xiao's mother-in-law's heart, Han Xiao was frightened and her eyes widened, she really wanted to believe that this was a dream, "Hehehe." He drew his sword, and the mother-in-law immediately fell in a pool of blood.
"Mother-in-law!" Han Xiao shouted heartbreakingly.
"What sound?" Xue Ru was awakened by Han Xiao's scream, so she got up in a hurry, and everyone else was also awakened.
"Huh?" Nangong Ling was also pleasantly surprised, and he got up to see what was going on.
"Why, why!" Han Xiao hugged her mother-in-law and cried bitterly.
"The head of the family said that if you want to rule Butterfly Valley, you and your mother-in-law must be eradicated." As he spoke, the masked man held his sword at Han Xiao and his mother-in-law, frowned, and looked at them.
"Xiao'er, kill the head and avenge your mother-in-law." The mother-in-law stroked Han Xiao's face and left the last words, which turned into foam.
"Mother-in-law, don't leave me!" Han Xiao burst into tears, running after the bubble, tears kept pouring out, "Don't leave Xiao'er alone in this world." It felt like it was about to collapse, the bubble flew into the sky, and Han Xiao couldn't keep up anymore.
"Huh!" The masked man gave a strange smile and turned away.
"Han Xiao?" Nangong Ling appeared in front of Han Xiao, still wearing a mask, looking at her with a lot of worries.
"You wear a mask for a purpose, right?" Han Xiao's heart was full of hatred, and he turned his back to Nangong Ling and said, but Nangong Ling did not answer her.
"Why kill your mother-in-law, and your mother-in-law is not wrong, why do you want to kill your mother-in-law?" Han Xiao turned around and looked at Nangong Ling hatefully.
"What? Mother-in-law? I didn't give the order to kill your mother-in-law. Nangong Ling said seriously.
Han Xiao shook her head when she heard this, looking very disappointed, she pulled out her sword and pointed at Nangong Ling, "I'm going to kill you!" Saying that, he stabbed at Nangong Ling, "I want to avenge my mother-in-law." After saying that, the two of them fought, and suddenly fallen leaves flew all over the ground.
"Sister Xiao'er?" Xue Ru appeared, "Stop fighting, what happened?" Saying that, Nangong Ying and Long Yi also appeared.
"Stinky bitch, don't do stupid things!" Long Yi shouted, "Don't fight. ”
"Huh?" Han Xiao straightened up and fought, turning his gaze to Long Yi, his mood was particularly complicated.
"Han Xiao, what's wrong with your mother-in-law?" Nangong Ling asked, looking very serious.
"Mother-in-law is dead, you ordered to kill mother-in-law." Han Xiao shook his head, unable to believe what had just happened.
"What mother-in-law died!" Xueru opened her mouth wide and couldn't believe her ears.
"How so!" Long Yi was also surprised, only Nangong Ying frowned, as if he had known that all this would happen.
"I'm going to kill you." Han Xiao used all the strength of his body to raise the sword and let the spiritual power gather on the sword.
"Don't!" Long Yi thought silently, and his heart suddenly became a ball.
"Ahh Han Xiao flew up and rushed to the head with a sword and stabbed at the master.
"Don't." Snow was like blocking in front of Nangong Ling.
"Snow as you don't." Nangong Ying's heart suddenly twisted like a knife, and she wanted to stop Xue Ru.
"Ahh The moment he stabbed past, Nangong Ling instantly pushed Xue Ru away, and the sword stabbed into his body, bleeding nonstop.
"Head Immortal Venerable!" Xue Ru sat paralyzed beside Nangong Ling, looking very distressed.
"I'm fine." Nangong Ling's face turned pale, looked at Xue Ru, took off his mask, and looked at Xue Ru affectionately, "I don't care." "Hold Xueru's hand.
"What? You're Yusheng!" Xue Ru was a little frightened, not knowing whether this was a surprise or panic.
"Don't leave me." Tightly grasping Xue Ru's hand and not wanting to let go, he fainted as he spoke.
"Yusheng, Yusheng." Xue Ru hugged Nangong Ling and called his name, but she couldn't wake up.
Nangong Ying, who was watching from the side, frowned, as if he had never expected this play, he walked behind Xue Ru and looked at Xue Ru's worried Nangong Ling It was very heartbroken.
"Xueru, you won't like him, will you!" Han Xiao looked at Xue Ru with a heartache, but Xue Ru ignored her.
"What the hell is wrong with you, stinky bitch?" Looking at Han Xiao's back, Long Yi was very worried about her.
"Xueru, let me tell you, if you like him, we won't talk about friends anymore." Saying that, Han Xiao threw down his sword and ran away crying.
"Han Xiao!" Long Yi chased after Han Xiao.
"What are you doing here!" When she arrived at Tianhe, Han Xiao sat paralyzed on the grass, looking weak, and her mother-in-law's death hit her hard.
"Stinky mother-in-law, I'm sad to hear the news that my mother-in-law is dead, but you can't just say that the head of the family killed me!" Long Yi sat next to Han Xiao and said.
"Long Yi, do you like me?" Han Xiao turned his head and asked seriously, looking at him.
"Why are you asking me this?" Long Yi was surprised.
"Can you tell me?" Han Xiao looked at him expectantly, as if to tell him that she couldn't afford any more blows.
"I, I don't know." Long Yi lowered his head and stammered a little, "Actually, I think it's good now!" He stood up and put on a look of indifference, "I have to discuss love or not for the sake of Shenma!" The tone suddenly became serious, "If you talk about love in this place of Tianshan Mountain, you can't become an immortal, the purpose of my coming here is to cultivate the Tao and become an immortal, and I have long given up the love and love of those worlds." "It looks like it's true.
Listening to Long Yi's words, Han Xiao felt that she had completely collapsed, she gasped and held back the indignation in her heart, "I know that you came to Tianshan to become an immortal. Saying that, he stood up, looked at Long Yi affectionately and continued, "I'm different from you, after listening to what you just said, I think we can't go on, even if we are friends." He turned to leave.
"Don't go." Long Yi grabbed Han Xiao's hand, and there was an indescribable sadness in his heart.
"Let it go." Han Xiao broke Long Yi's hand and left.
All night, Xue Ru stayed by Nangong Ling's bedside, and Nangong Ying stood outside the door but never dared to go in. In the morning, Nangong Ying boiled the medicine and gave it to Xue Ru and asked Xue Ru to feed Nangong Ling, and at this moment Nangong Ling woke up, "Xue Ru medicine, I'll drink it myself, you go out first, I have something to talk to Nangong Ying Shangxian." ”
"Oh, good." Xue Ru responded, glanced at Nangong Ying, nodded at him and went down.
"Okay, now there's no one, you can tell me what happened yesterday." Nangong Ling took the medicine and drank it directly in one gulp and said, "I know that this medicine contains your unique secret poison. Nangong Ling's face was pale and he said weakly.
"Heh, you know everything?" Nangong Ying smiled, "What else do you know?" ”
"As long as you do it, I know it." Nangong Ling said, "Give up your hatred and leave the Tianshan Mountains." ”
"Do you think I'm not going to kill you?" Nangong Ying said as she pulled out a knife from her cuff and pointed it at Nangong Ling's neck.
"If you think you'll be better off with my death, then kill me." Nangong Ling said.
"I'm not so stupid to let you die so quickly." Nangong Ying put away the knife and said.
"Take the snow like leaving the Tianshan Mountains, don't come back." Nangong Ling pondered for a moment and said, "Only this is the best choice. ”
"Heh, you're thinking too much, I'll torture you slowly." Nangong Ying thought it was very funny when she heard it.
"Don't you think about Xue Ru, if you become a spy in the Tianshan Mountains, do you want Xue Ru to follow you and live a life of escape?" Nangong Ling said coldly.
"Don't worry, I will take Xueru to a place where no one knows and live a happy life." Nangong Ying retorted.
"I hope so." Saying that, Nangong Ling fell into contemplation again.
Xue Ru returned to her room, she didn't know why her heart was so confused, she couldn't tell whether Han Xiao was friend or foe, so she planned to find Han Xiao and ask clearly. But she searched every corner of Anyi Mountain but didn't find Han Xiao's figure, and until the night, Xue Ru looked dejected and squatted on the stone bench thinking about where Han Xiao would go.
"Snow Ru." Long Yi appeared behind Xue Ru, "Do you know where Han Xiao went?" He frowned.
"I was about to look for her, but I couldn't find her." Xue Ru couldn't figure out where Yin Bai Hanxiao would go, and she had searched all the places she should be looking for.
"Then let's go look again, maybe there will be some clues." Long Yi proposed.
"Okay." Xue Ru thought it was a good idea and agreed.
"What are you going to do?" Nangong Ying happened to be passing by, and when she saw Long Yi and Xue Ru, she came over and asked.
"Oh, Brother Shadow, we're going to find Han Xiao." Xueru explained.
"It's so late, it's a little wrong to go to her." The shadow said, "Why don't I go with you?" ”
"Okay." Snow as it should be.
"Come on. Let's go. "The Southern Institute of Technology seems to have a sense of showing them the way.
Then they found those strange cats, that is, the cat that Han Xiao met, as if there was a sense of wanting to show them the way, Xue Ru walked in front and followed, they followed the cat over the wall, through an alley, to the cat's nest, the cat motioned for them to look at the sky.
"Dragon!" Xue Ru looked at the blue dragon in the sky and said in surprise.
"Wow, that's beautiful!" Long Yi smiled as if he was enjoying the scenery, and pointed to the sky, "How can there be dragons here?" ”
"Let's go." Xueru flew into the sky and chased after the dragon, and the others followed, only to see that the dragon saw Xueru and wanted to flee in a hurry, it flew down and flew all the way to the kitchen of the Anyi Palace, there was a chicken in the kitchen, the dragon turned back into Han Xiao, Han Xiao grabbed the chicken and began to suck blood, while sucking blood, tears flowed.
"Han Xiao?" Xue Ru ran in and was stunned to see everything in front of her.
"Ahh Han Xiao saw that the chicken in Xueru's hand had fallen, but unfortunately the chicken was dead.
"Han Xiao!" Long Yi and Nangong Ying came in and were surprised to see everything.
"How so!" Long Yi couldn't believe his eyes.
"Huh?" In Nangong Ying's eyes, it seemed that everything was expected by him, "She was poisoned by the Demon Fruit." ”
"What? Devil's fruit? How can it be! Long Yi's mouth opened wide in surprise.
Seeing Long Yi's appearance, Han Xiao suddenly became calm, and she wiped the blood marks from the corners of her mouth.
"Han Xiao, don't be afraid, we will help you." Nangong Ying pretended to be sincere, but Han Xiao shook his head when he heard it.
